Visual Field Examinations

Visual Field Testing

Elmsdale Vision Centre offers convenient on site computerized visual field testing. Our technology allows for mapping of the entire scope of vision, including central and peripheral or side vision. This type of testing can aid in the prompt diagnosis of eye disease as well assist in monitoring of certain eye diseases. The most common reasons to utilize visual field testing include screening for glaucoma, testing functioning of the optic nerve, and for evaluating the visual pathways to the brain to test for brain tumours and stroke. In addition we offer visual field testing to check for ocular side effects of certain medications (like Plaquenil, a medication for rheumatoid arthritis) or to ensure that an individual meets the driving standards for certain classes of license.
